Antifreeze OEM Mazda or OEM BMW
This is normal. Mazda master tech. I work on these everyday. Every oil change they need to be topped off. The coolant evaporates from the bottle pretty quick.
Pros: coolant evaporates quickly
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
I used genuine bmw coolant as the price was around the same.
Pros: price was around same
You're not supposed to add tap water... distilled water is fine for emergencies, but always top up with coolant whenever possible
Pros: distilled water for emergencies
Cons: not tap water
Vehicle:
Mazda
BMW coolant is down right awesome stuff.
Pros: awesome stuff
I recently changed the coolant in my 2020 CX-5 with genuine Mazda prediluted FL22. The reason I change the coolant is corrosion protection. The corrosion inhibitors in coolant deplete with both time and mileage. Many aftermarket coolants may not be formulated with the identical corrosion protection chemical strategy found in the Mazda FL22 coolant. Using an aftermarket coolant is a risk I am not willing to take. My cooling system remains safe from corrosion. Using my schedule I will not have coolant and internal corrosion issues for as long as I own my car. Peace of mind is worth it to me.
Pros: corrosion protection, peace of mind

Mazda
genuine BLUE BMW coolant (they released a GREEN BMW coolant around 2019 so remember to specify you want BLUE when ordering parts now). I dilute it 50/50 with distilled water (not tap water).
Pros: genuine BMW
Cons: specify blue
Vehicle:
BMW
BMW blue only.
Vehicle:
BMW
BMW only. Not saving yourself any money in the long run being cheap with this particular fluid. It isn\u2019t even that much more expensive than other brands.
Pros: not too expensive
Cons: being cheap
Vehicle:
BMW
